Sirois Family Session in Chicago

The Sirois family has been a long time client of ours!  We love working with them and watching their adorable family grow!  When the whole crew got together a few weeks ago, it was the perfect opportunity to get some photos!  They asked us to come to Chicago to get some portraits, and we were glad to do it! Here are a few of our favorite images of them!

Karis and Dirk's Wedding

This was one of those weddings, where after I got home from a long day on my feet, I sat down and thought: "I could shoot a hundred weddings in a row, if they were all like this one." Simply put, Karis and Dirk had my idea of a perfect wedding.  It was laid back, beautiful, charming and truly spoke to who they were as a couple.

Heritage Prairie Farms in Elburn, IL was the perfect setting for their day.  They had a beautiful garden ceremony where the hanging vases of brightly colored flowers were the perfect backdrop for their sweet vows.  The flowers by Wallflower Designs were just incredible and so, so sweet.   Karis and Dirk's tented reception was filled with laughter and love, and their food was amazing!  We loved their favors of organic honey, and their adorable name cards held with little magnetic animals.  Closing the evening with marshmallows over a bonfire was, in my book, just right.

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from Karis and Dirk's day:

Amanda and Nick's Wedding

  We consider it a privilege and an honor to be asked to photograph the weddings of our family!  Amanda and Nick had the most darling yellow and gray wedding with adorable chevron details.  Nick is an avid outdoorsman, so tables were themed with various duck and birds, we also made sure to get photos of their rings on a fish hook!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day, Amanda and Nick were a blast to work with and, of course, it's always fun to be among family!

Please enjoy a few of our favorite photos from their celebration!
